Effects of seed-placed sulfur fertilizers on canola, wheat, and pea yield; sulfur uptake; and soil sulfate concentrations over time in three prairie soils
“…A soil pH reduction was observed after the harvesting experiment, which can be attributed to the higher base extraction, especially as yield increased (Ahmed, et al, 2017). ESPO was related to a marked reduction of pH due to its physical and particle size properties, which were related to S oxidation that released sulfate and hydrogen protons into the soil (Boaro et al, 2014).…”
This study evaluated the nutritional quality, yield, and storage protein modulation in soybean grains in response to levels and sources of sulfur (S) in a dystrophic Ultisol. We used five levels of S (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg kg-1) and four sources of S (elemental S pastille-ESPA, gypsum-GY, gypsite-GI and elemental S powder-ESPO). Plants treated with 50 mg kg-1 of GY, GI, and ESPO and 200 mg kg-1 of ESPA had the largest grain yield values. Low S supply resulted in lower yields for all S sources tested. Sulfur deficiencies were observed at all levels for ESPA, resulting in lower concentrations of globulin and higher concentration of glutelin and albumin in the grains, possibly because the S content in the leaf was below the range adequate for soybean, leading to in lower yield values. In general, the application of S sources (GY, GI, and ESPO) increased all protein fractions. The results show that proper application of S is essential to optimize soybean yield and increase storage proteins in the grains. The granulometry of ESPA and ESPO fertilizers was a key factor for the availability of S to soybean plants. This study presents relevant information on S fertilization of soybeans, which could provide better grain nutritional quality and increased storage proteins with benefits to animal health.

“…There is a need for additional sulfur applications in crops, particularly in highly sulfur-demanding crops such as Allium sp. Sulfur fertilization can be carried out through different routes: elemental sulfur, sprinkled in leaves or soil applied, and calcium sulfate incorporated in soil are inexpensive sources of S, which provides a long-term residual effect, especially in clay soils [ 156 ].…”
Section: Use Of Selenium and Sulfur In
Allium
Amentioning
Selenium is an element that must be considered in the nutrition of certain crops since its use allows the obtaining of biofortified crops with a positive impact on human health. The objective of this review is to present the information on the use of Se and S in the cultivation of plants of the genus Allium. The main proposal is to use Allium as specialist plants for biofortification with Se and S, considering the natural ability to accumulate both elements in different phytochemicals, which promotes the functional value of Allium. In spite of this, in the agricultural production of these species, the addition of sulfur is not realized to obtain functional foods and plants more resistant; it is only sought to cover the necessary requirements for growth. On the other hand, selenium does not appear in the agronomic management plans of most of the producers. Including S and Se fertilization as part of agronomic management can substantially improve Allium crop production. Allium species may be suitable to carry out biofortification with Se; this practice can be combined with the intensive use of S to obtain crops with higher production and sensory, nutritional, and functional quality.
“…Developed countries already reached the peak of agriculture production, on the other hand developing countries like India is still far behind. The fertilizer sector is the major deciding factor which can speed up the agriculture production as it accounts for 50% of crop yields [1] . Sulphur (S) is the 13 th most abundant element in the earth crust and fourth major plant nutrient.…”
A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University during rabi season of 2016-17 to evaluate the effect of improved sulphur (S) formulations on the status of available macronutrients in soil at various growth stages of mustard. Results revealed that the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) content of soil decreased with increasing the dose of Gromor Rapid Blue® from 5 to 7.5 kg acre -1 . Residual N and K status of the soil were found highest when Micronized S was applied @3kg acre -1 , whereas application of Gromor Sulphamax @10kg acre -1 gave better results in increasing the P content of soil. At vegetative stage, maximum increase in NPK level over control was recorded, i.e. 34.4, 49.0, and 11.6% with application of Micronized S @3kg acre -1 , Gromor Sulphamax @10kg acre -1 , and Gromor Rapid Blue® 7.5 kg acre -1 , respectively. During this study, the available nutrient content of soil was in decreasing trend as the crop progressed and maximum available nutrient content was observed at vegetative stage.
